6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
11 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12 means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13 QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
15 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17 return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
19 It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21 protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
36 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38 defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
40 These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41 and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
46 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
47 QEMU is available
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
51 3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
52 for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
53 check for the "error" key)
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
58 Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59 refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

1115 ------------
1117 Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
1119 Arguments:
1121 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1122 - "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
1123 (json-string, optional)
1124 - "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
1125 filename is not validated.
1127 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
1128 QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
1129 node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
1130 methods will fail.
1132 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
1133 backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
1134 obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
1135 string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.
1136 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)

1158 ------------
1160 Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
1161 data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
1163 Arguments:
1165 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1166 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1167 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1168 (json-string, optional)
1169 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1170 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1171 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1173 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1174 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1175 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1176 filename is not validated.
1178 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1179 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1180 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1181 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1183 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1184 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1185 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1186 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1187 filename or protocol.
1188 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1190 If top == base, that is an error.
1191 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1192 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1193 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1195 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1196 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1197 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1198 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1199 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1200 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1201 (json-string)
1202 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1205 Example:

1233 (json-string)
1234 - "target": the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a

1342 -----------
1344 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. Operations that are
1345 currently supported:
1347 - drive-backup
1348 - blockdev-backup
1349 - blockdev-snapshot-sync
1350 - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1351 - abort
1352 - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1353 - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1355 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1356 versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1357 that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1358 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1359 abandoned.
1361 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1362 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1363 qcow2.
1365 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1366 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1367 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1368 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1369 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1370 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1372 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1374 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1375 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1376 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1377 and sheepdog.
1379 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1380 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1381 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1383 Arguments:
1385 actions array:
1386 - "type": the operation to perform (json-string). Possible
1387 values: "drive-backup", "blockdev-backup",

1780 Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1781 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1782 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1783 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1784 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1786 Arguments:
1788 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1789 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1790 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by

2249 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2250 use this command
2252 (2) Limitations:
2254 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2255 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2257 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2258 device is encrypted) don't currently work
2260 3. Query Commands
2261 =================
2263 HXCOMM Each query command below is inside a SQMP/EQMP section, do NOT change
2264 HXCOMM this! We will possibly move query commands definitions inside those
2265 HXCOMM sections, just like regular commands.

3561 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3562 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3563 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3564 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3565 size (json-int)
3566 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3567 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3568 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3569 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3570 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3571 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3572 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3573 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3574 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3575 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3576 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3577 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3578 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3579 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3580 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3581 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3582 normal page).

4210 Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4211 The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4213 In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4214 inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4215 or its medium are in use.

4264 ------------------
4266 Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4267 medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4268 to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4270 If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4272 Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4273 which no such event will be generated, these include:
4274 - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4275 respond to the eject request
4276 - if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4277 to it
4278 - if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4279 for floppy disk drives
4281 Arguments:
4283 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4284 - "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4285 it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);

4394 x-blockdev-insert-medium
4395 ------------------------
4397 Inserts a medium (a block driver state tree) into a block device. That block
4398 device's tray must currently be open (unless there is no attached guest device)
4399 and there must be no medium inserted already.
4401 This command is still a work in progress and is considered experimental.
4402 Stay away from it unless you want to help with its development.
4404 Arguments:
4406 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4407 - "node-name": root node of the BDS tree to insert into the block device
4409 Example:
4411 -> { "execute": "blockdev-add",

4434 x-blockdev-change
4435 -----------------
4437 Dynamically reconfigure the block driver state graph. It can be used
4438 to add, remove, insert or replace a graph node. Currently only the
4439 Quorum driver implements this feature to add or remove its child. This
4440 is useful to fix a broken quorum child.
4442 If @node is specified, it will be inserted under @parent. @child
4443 may not be specified in this case. If both @parent and @child are
4444 specified but @node is not, @child will be detached from @parent.
4446 Arguments:
4447 - "parent": the id or name of the parent node (json-string)
4448 - "child": the name of a child under the given parent node (json-string, optional)
4449 - "node": the name of the node that will be added (json-string, optional)
4451 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API. It doesn't
4452 support all kinds of operations, all kinds of children, nor all block
4453 drivers.
4455 Warning: The data in a new quorum child MUST be consistent with that of
4456 the rest of the array.

4460 Add a new node to a quorum
